Chapter 067: A Performance Beyond Levels
In the forty-second scene, in the first five seconds, Gan Jing appeared on the stage, walked down the stairs in front of the building, and walked into the crowd.
As soon as he entered the crowd, his right hand was no longer in a state of false grasping, and the rhythm adjustment of the whole person was also stretched.
This scene is one of the most important scenes in "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and the reason why it took five seconds of precious time to make the character appearance is not only to bridge with the previous scenes, but more importantly, to show the rhythm change to the audience.
Five seconds, solo down the ladder.
Thirty-five seconds remaining, alone in the crowd.
In the first five seconds, Gan Jing walks sideways in the camera, and after entering the crowd, he turns to the front, which is a kind of cut of the characters on the camera, a kind of cut from a quick to a slow cut, which is one of the rhythm changes.
The supporting characters on the road are all in suits and leather shoes, there are men and women, old and young, walking forward in one direction, Gan Jing's pace slowed down after entering the crowd, he turned a 360 degree to look around, as if there was a sharp contrast with the rest of the crowd, this is the second rhythm change.
As soon as he entered the crowd, Gan Jing knew that the shot aimed at him here should be cut to the middle shot, which is commonly known as the "seven-point image", with tears in his eyes, the lines on his forehead wrinkled, and the excitement in his heart was unspeakable but could not be concealed in the crowd.
Men and women of different faces walked forward, Gan Jing bowed his head slightly, clasped his hands together in front of his mouth, as if he wanted to sobble and as if he wanted to exhale, his gaze went down, and the whole person was presented in the camera with an excited and overwhelmed appearance.
The crowd is still moving forward, just as life goes on forever.
Gan Jing also walked forward, his hands in front of his face turned into clapping vigorously, and every time he parted his hands, he could see the face full of excitement - his eyes were tilted, and the tears in his eyes remained between sobbing and not weeping.
It was his applause for himself, a catharsis of his joy alone in the crowd.
When a man is finally rewarded with a lot of hard work and can have a good environment for his children, he has every reason to cry with joy, but when he returns to the man himself, it seems natural to hold back the tears and not let the tears flow.
The onlookers in front of the monitor were already stunned, and the surrounding crew members were also stunned, and a very infectious performance bloomed in front of their eyes.
What kind of standard should a good actor be measured?
When he can infect you, he is a good actor, and the same is true for good movies.
Gan Jing did it.
At this point, the camera from camera 1 has cut back to the "medium shot" perspective as the director had previously instructed, which makes the screen on the monitor larger, more actors, and more rhythmic.
Gan Jing no longer applauded, he walked forward with the crowd, the rhythm of his walking was reflected in the ups and downs of his shoulders, and gradually the same as the crowd around him, only his expression was still like wanting to vent his emotions.
He didn't speak, and shouldn't have spoken among strangers, and scratched his right hand twice with his right hand behind his head.
After walking a few steps, his left hand was raised, both hands were clenched into fists at the same time, and his lips were opened and tightly pursed, which was indescribably complicated.
In such a change of action, Gan Jing follows the crowd as he approaches the camera, and the medium scene set by himself naturally becomes a close-up of the face, and finally ends.
If I had to describe this performance in one word, it would be exquisite.
One more word, come alive.
Finally, give an evaluation, you can be a teacher.
Gan Jing chose this script in large part because of the sense of motivation that he gave to the final shot, and he liked the silent expression conveyed through the story of the film.
If you talk about this kind of footage in the walking scene, Gan Jing's favorite and infectious two works are the first, one is "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and the other is "Curry Pepper", the latter has a scene where a star eats and smokes at the same time.
Of course, the shot of the former has the foreshadowing of the whole film, and it is the finishing touch at the end, and the latter shows that it belongs to Xingye's own style, which is correspondingly not so influential.
But no matter which one it is, in terms of quality alone, in the crew formed by the people of Baishi Film and Television Company, it is more than enough to beat.
At this moment, the scene of Gan Jing's performance in the monitor screen suddenly made producer Qian Mei, assistant director Sun Chong, and the photographer Xu Lao who came over afterwards fall silent.
This silence seems to be contagious, and it quickly brings the other members of the crew who don't know the situation but can observe the situation into silence.
In this strange atmosphere, Gan Jing finished the performance, walked to the monitor, took off his blazer and placed it on the chair before speaking.
"How's this last scene going?"
"I'm okay with the camera setup, right?"
"It should be infectious, right?"
Compared with the serious argument in the morning, Gan Jing spoke completely pleasantly now, and the harmony on his face almost seemed to be able to be sucked into his lungs and spit out of his mouth.
The three men still did not speak.
Gan Jing didn't need to hear the affirmation from other people's mouths, he knew very well what level of performance in this kind of shot was, and after laughing twice, he said: "It's going to be like this in the future, Qian Producer, is there a problem?"
Qian Mei's face was so strange that she wanted to have a seizure but couldn't get out, she opened her mouth, didn't make a sound, only nodded, it was really the quality of the picture and the actors' performances were shocking enough, this is not like and should not be a clip from such a crew, however, it was filmed in front of her eyes.
“OK。 Photographer Xu, do you have any questions?" Gan Jing seemed to be asking questions one by one.
Xu Lao is engaged in photography, and his background is even more amazing for the footage he shoots, and he said almost without hesitation: "No problem." ”
Standing next to the photographer was Sun Chong, after the first two questions, he understood that in this short confrontation about the crew's right to speak, it was the director Gan Jing who won, and he was mentally prepared to just wait for Gan Jing to ask.
However, Gan Jing's eyes swept and said to producer Qian Mei again: "Okay, change me to an assistant director, that's it." ”
Sun Chong was stunned, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be like this.
He was stunned and said, "Why?"
Gan Jing took two steps, picked up the backpack full of storyboards that he brought over in the morning, and smiled: "What why?
Wow, wow, wow.
When Gan Jing walked away, Sun Chong's anger was late, he reached out and wanted to take the horn and throw it to the ground but found that it was Gan Jing who had fallen, and couldn't help but turn around in a circle in anger.
"Sister Qian, you are commenting, why is he particularly sick?" Sun Chong's forehead was exposed, and he couldn't help but admit to a certain extent, "He has great acting skills?"
Qian Mei's face was a little gloomy, but she glanced at Sun Zhong meaningfully.
The wonderful thing is that although he didn't speak, Sun Chong understood this look.
Out!
